We created the iGEM Forum as a centralized place for discussion of the latest news, advancements, and challenges in Synthetic Biology, and hope you can help us get started by adding your own posts and topics! Currently, the iGEM Forum is in beta with hopes for a release to the broader community in early January 2019. As such, if you find any bugs, or have any suggestions for the use of the forum, please forward them to john@igem.org!

Welcome to the African subforum, I am your African region ambassador Japheth Kelly. I am very excited to engage in conversations on this amazing forum. I have been working on growing synthetic biology awareness in the region by focusing on improving team participation in iGEM across institutions on the continent . My journey around the region has taught me that there are many exciting institutions and individuals showing success using the tools of SynBio (and are former iGEMers!!!!!) and I am elated to share those stories with you , about a great 2018.
